Expensive route and not as good as a screed!

You will need to lay a concrete oversite then the bottom of joists need to be 125mm clear of that!

I would, (far cheaper and better)

25mm sand blinding
75mm duct pipes at 2m intervals to vent existing floor
DPM
75mm extratherm insulation
UFH pipes
Screed
